@MelMel — I totally recommend checking it out next year. It’s an event I’ve read about but until I partook in a festival, I had no idea how amazing it really is. I love living in SoCal, there is so much Mexican culture here … a lot more than I got living in Detroit.

Awww you’re such a cutie Trent-face.

….I’ve never really taken the time to learn about Dia de Los Muertos but it seems entirely fascinating, I’m Mexican and, to be honest, just now learning too appreciate my latina-ness….something to look forward to delving into next year!

i loved playing at the cemetary in mexico for dia de los muertos, especially listening to the bands some families would hire, there would lots of laughing but mostly what i noticed is that everyone would share one of their favorite memories of their loved ones.

Thanks so much for spreading the word about Dia de los Muertos. You’re right; it’s a huge misconception.

I took time out to celebrate the life and death of my grandmother-in-law who died 1 year ago and was subsequently buried on Halloween of ’08. I even took time out to remember my beloved cat who died the day after my GIL.

I love Dia De Los Muertos. I went to Olvera Street last year, but since a couple of family memebers passed away this year, I thought it would be appropriate to construc a couple of altars here at home with all of the embelishments, their favorite food, tequila (hehe), and toys for the younger souls. Looks like you had a great time. Latins are linked to one another by the passion they share for the same things and by the passion that resides in all of us. Que Dios te bendiga!
